Hi this will be my first post to this web forum, i love it here it has been so helpful!! I just bought a 93 subari impreza for my wife is has 125000 AWD auto tranny its really clean! I paid 1500 for it. but it shifts very erratic. and will rev really high before shifting. their is a check engine code flashing but it usually turns ON after driving the car for a minute or so. I have no idea of how well it has been maintained. very soon i plan on flushing the tranny to see what that does, I just put the original tires back on they came with the car the tires that were on it when i bought the car were from a 2 wheel drive car and were not even close to being evenly worn. so if someone could shed some light on why it shifts as it does that would be amazing. I used this forum to diagnose a 97 outback wagon i owned. cause when i bought the car the seller had disconnected the rear drive shaft, and when i reconnected it the car made a horrible grinding noise when turning. I found on this forum it was called torque bind. so I went to the junk yard pulled out a duty c solenoid and the gearing i needed the dude only charged me 20 bucks for it all and i fixed it that nigh!! so i have faith in the geniuses here thank you for your time
